MO5.COM is a non-profit association founded on January 31, 2003, whose goal is to preserve our digital heritage. Located in the nearby suburbs of Paris, the association has large premises at its disposal which allow its many volunteers to work comfortably towards the achievement of its mission. Thanks to numerous donations received since its creation, it owns one of the largest collections in Europe dedicated to the digital heritage. This very collection is intended to become part of a dedicated national museum.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The association's history goes back to the beginnings of the Internet in France in 1996, with the creation of a web site called \"Mus\u00e9e d'Histoire Informatique\" (\"Museum of Computing History\"). Its founder, Philippe Dubois, already owned by then a large collection of machines and designed its logo by retouching the photograph of a French micro-computer, the Thomson MO5, popularised in 1985 through the \"Informatique Pour Tous\" (\"Computing For All\") national programme.<\/p>\n

This site allowed him to get in touch with many other enthusiasts who felt the need to pool their collections and skills. In 2003, this desire led to the founding of the MO5.COM association, located in the Paris region.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
